World of Tanks NA has just announced events and specials for July 2017.

EU has not announced anything yet.

What I really want is a discount on training a crew to a new tank. I have three tanks with crews that I am waiting to retrain on a discount weekend. I wonder which July weekend it will come (I certainly hope it comes on one July weekend).

EU never gets what NA gets (different server populations, different business models), but here it is;

Then again I don't expect us to get a 4th of July special. Nor do we have "on track" or "tank mastery" missions. As that's missions NA have as "bait" to keep players coming back more then once a month.

217 was just speculations. Never confirmed by anyone. As that started after the RU marathon announcement had a Tiger silhouette icon saying it was a "special reward". Then again, it's not the first time each server has their own set of Marathons rewards.

And the T-34-85M is basically a Rudy on steroids with 330 more DPM, more hull armor and 0.10 less power to weight. So well worth it after the buffs if we get the same.
